Hopefully the new coach for the lady Gamecocks can bring some more W's in the rugged SEC

I would really like to see Francis Marion's coach Heather Macy considered as a possible replacement. She is young and has totally turned around their womens basketball program. Francis Marion is where UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell (http://tarheelblue.cstv.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/hatchell_sylvia00.html) first got her start and she won several div II national championships in womens college basketball for FMU before moving up to UNC. A added bonus is that Heather Macy is not bad looking either.

I hate to say this, but I think we need a coach from the Northeast. In order to win in the SEC we have to get recruits from places like NJ, Conn, and NYC. So, we should look at someone like Suzanne Rizotti. She has turned Hartford around, plus she was on UConn with Rebecca Lobo and knows about turning a program into a contender. Prior to the mid-90's UConn was decent in the Big East but nothing special.

she really is a good coach.the girls played really well at the begining of the season but started to slip towards the end. a few injuries didnt help.

She could be a nice fit at USC.

Yep, Jolette Law at Illiniois. She is from Florence, played at Iowa, then coached various places ending up as a protege of that Rutgers coach.

You can google her for her bio. She played with the Harlem Globetrotters (I am dead serious) which means she was on Scooby Doo! (joking about that part, she's too young). http://fightingillini.cstv.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/law_jolette00.html

A second choice is Karen Middleton, her assistant, who went to McBee high school and played at SC and got two degrees from SC. She also asst coached here at one point. http://fightingillini.cstv.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/middleton_karen00.html

Two very good options

[Bleedin'Garnet]

Anthony Grant?

that's funny

[Gamecock_girl_west]

Law was asst for Stringer, a great coach at Rutgers. (Its interesting, she replaced Theresa Grentz, who was a HUGE legend when she coached at Rutgers. I was invited to her "Tall Girl" camp one summer, and she was awesome.)

Middleton was an assistant for 10 years to Tara Vanderveer, another legendary women's hoops coach at Stanford.

Both of them could do well here, but I wonder if Law would leave the Big 10 job for this one.

i hear odom is available

[gamecockfinatic2007]

i hear odom is available
its a start. would have a couple average seasons.2 nit's.and then dismall final 2.....


would set us up to get a Horny sister.

I hope a pattern isn't developing. After the Pam Parsons debacle, Nancy Wilson came and had a fair ammount of success then hit a wall. Just couldn't recruit in the SEC like she had in the Metro. Walvius came in had some success (making it the round of 8) then the downward spiral.
Could there be a parsons curse...lol

There may not be many on this board that remember Pam Parsons. What a wild time that was in USC athletic history...One of the few times we made SI for our basketball teams.

Here's a good (well, not really good for USC) article for those who missed it back in the day...

Stormy Weather At South Carolina

In the wake of Coach Pam Parsons' departure come alarming charges of misdeeds involving lesbianism, recruiting, drugs and academics

Jill Lieber

For the University of South Carolina's women's basketball team, these have been tumultuous times. Barely a month ago the Lady Gamecocks boasted a 7-0 record, the No. 2 ranking in the national polls and a future so rosy that Coach Pam Parsons was openly talking about embellishing her already successful, if ofttimes stormy, career with the national championship. That dream now lies shattered. Parsons is out of a job, having resigned last month under initially mysterious and still troubling circumstances. Since her departure, the Lady Gamecocks have lost six of 11 games to fall out of the Top 10. They have been so decimated by dropouts that at one point last week, the team had just six players. As a result, the man who succeeded Parsons, former Assistant Coach Terry Kelly, was reduced to placing a notice in the campus newspaper, Gamecock, announcing open tryouts for new players.

everyone was saying that they would like Uncle Dave and stick around and do something at the University.... here it is. He loves fundamental basketball.

[cmacinsc]

She should draw some consideraton. She knows the area and not only coached in the SEC, but played in the SEC. Old Fashion, hard working type of coach.

What about Pokey Chatman? I realize there were problems at LSU but she was a good coach.

[NastyNash]

Why dont we take the vols coach

[sc455]

when i was in the fifth and sixth grade we lived across the street from Pam Parsons. when we moved there i was kinda excited to be across the street from a Carolina coach. That was where it ended. She was flat out mean. She yelled at us all the time if we set a single foot in her yard. She also had all these chics going in and out. What did i know, i was a sixth grader and knew she was a womens coach. i didnt think anything of it until a few years later when i was in hs and all the crap hit the fan. i was actually glad she got in trouble.

Yes, she could be our Pam Parsons for the 21st century.

Right on. I think it'd be a great fit. He'd get to still coach the game he loves without the intense pressure to win and we don't have to look far. He said he could see himself coaching 7th graders - I think womens college basketball is a definite step up from that, but I still don't think he'd do it.

What's Sheila Foster doing these days? Does she want a job coaching her alma mater?
